Watch this video to see the features of GE's Electro-Trac™ MWDSystem, for conventional & unconventional drilling.
GE's Measuring While Drilling (MWD) system is superior to mud pulse telemetry in three important ways. With no moving parts, it has less wear and tear and simpler maintenance, so there is reduced NPT risk. Drilling efficiency is improved because of less pressure drop, hence, increased flow for improved hole cleaning. And, since the Electro-Trac system is independent of drilling fluid properties, it can operate in underbalanced drilling applications such as air, mist, foam and aerated mud.

The downhole seismic method (DH) measures the time taken for the P and S waves to move between a seismic source located on the surface of the ground, and the receivers, placed inside a borehole.
Once entered the information for the project, the depth reached and the travel times, we can get:
the distances from source to receiver;
corrected travel times;
speeds of P and S waves;
some important geotechnical parameters;
the travel time graph with seismic layers from which can be determined the average velocity in each layer, some average geotechnical parameters and VS30.
the graph of P and S waves interval velocity and definition of seismic layer;
graphics relating to geotechnical parameters, derived for each interval;
the stratigraphy of the borehole;
the final report.
The import of SEG2 files ensures to this software a high compatibility with the working tools.
INTERPRETATION WITH DIRECT METHOD
With the direct method, initially, must be corrected the travel times (t) measured along the source-receiver paths to take into account the inclination of the path of the waves and then realized the chart tcor-z, for both P waves and S waves. Thus the average speed of seismic waves in homogeneous layers of soil is represented by the inclination of the line segments along which are aligned to the experimental data.
Once the seismic layers are graphically obtained, we get the average density, from the speed and depth, Poisson's ratio, shear deformation modulus, oedometric modulus, Young's modulus, bulk modulus, VS30.
INTERPRETATION WITH INTERVAL METHOD
In the interval method, travel times are measured between two receivers placed at different depths, thus allowing for better quality measurements (speed intervals).
When we have only one receiver, that is assuming that the pairs do not match a single impulse, the rate determined values are defined in the pseudo-range, allowing only an apparent better definition of the velocity profile.
Once we have the measurements is possible to calculate the corrected travel times and interval velocity for the P and S waves, along to the relating graphic. Than we can calculate the density, Poisson's ratio, the shear deformation modulus, the oedometric modulus, Young's modulus, the bulk modulus for each interval and VS30.

Multivariate Control for Managed Pressure DrillingSystems Using High SpeedTelemetry, Presented at SPEATCE 2014, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
With the recent advance in high speed data communication offered by wired drill pipe (WDP) telemetry, it is now possible to design automated control systems that directly utilize downhole data (e.g. pressure) to optimize drilling procedures. This research couples drilling hydraulics, rate of penetration (ROP), and rotational speed (RPM) control into a single controller for managed pressure drilling systems. This novel multivariate controller improves drilling performance during normal drilling operations and enhances safety during abnormal drilling conditions such as unwanted gas influx situations.
New advances in drilling automation have made the closed loop control of downhole weight on bit (WOB) and drill string rotational speed (RPM) possible. This study uses two feedback controllers that control the downhole WOB and RPM using surface data. A multivariate nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) uses downhole and surface measurements to simultaneously regulate the bottom hole assembly (BHA) pressure and maximize the ROP. For this purpose, NMPC provides the necessary set points for the WOB and RPM feedback controllers as well as manipulates the choke valve opening and pump flow rates. Controller performance is enhanced via a nonlinear estimator that works continuously online with the NMPC and provides the necessary estimated parameter values (i.e. annulus density, friction factor, and gas influx) for precise and efficient drilling control.
The designed NMPC controller has a multi-priority approach which is described in the following three scenarios: (1) during unexpected gas influx, the NMPC gives priority to BHA pressure control and attenuates the influx effectively via a novel kick attenuation method that switches the control objective from BHA pressure to choke valve pressure; (2) during connection procedures when adding a new stand, ROP is stopped and the NMPC focuses on maintaining the BHA pressure constant; (3) during normal drilling operation, which involves changes in the rock formation and differential pressures, NMPC gives priority to ROP maximization while maintaining RPM, WOB, and BHA pressure within specified bounds.
Preliminary results suggest that this multivariate controller for ROP and BHA pressure control will decrease drilling costs, reduce operator workload, and minimize risk significantly. Specific improvements in drilling performance include higher ROP, effective kick attenuation, and more uniform cuttings. The use of a multivariate NMPC allows for better ROP optimization and BHA pressure control than would be possible with the use of two independent controllers. These benefits are demonstrated across the three scenarios mentioned above. This technology has potential to deliver significant performance improvements during managed pressure drilling and further the development of auto driller systems.

Downhole Technology ElectroTrac

Watch this video to see the features of GE's Electro-Trac™ MWDSystem, for conventional & unconventional drilling.
GE's Measuring While Drilling (MWD) system is superior to mud pulse telemetry in three important ways. With no moving parts, it has less wear and tear and simpler maintenance, so there is reduced NPT risk. Drilling efficiency is improved because of less pressure drop, hence, increased flow for improved hole cleaning. And, since the Electro-Trac system is independent of drilling fluid properties, it can operate in underbalanced drilling applications such as air, mist, foam and aerated mud.

Downhole

The downhole seismic method (DH) measures the time taken for the P and S waves to move between a seismic source located on the surface of the ground, and the receivers, placed inside a borehole.
Once entered the information for the project, the depth reached and the travel times, we can get:
the distances from source to receiver;
corrected travel times;
speeds of P and S waves;
some important geotechnical parameters;
the travel time graph with seismic layers from which can be determined the average velocity in each layer, some average geotechnical parameters and VS30.
the graph of P and S waves interval velocity and definition of seismic layer;
graphics relating to geotechnical parameters, derived for each interval;
the stratigraphy of the borehole;
the final report.
The import of SEG2 files ensures to this software a high compatibility with the working tools.
INTERPRETATION WITH DIRECT METHOD
With the direct method, initially, must be corrected the travel times (t) measured along the source-receiver paths to take into account the inclination of the path of the waves and then realized the chart tcor-z, for both P waves and S waves. Thus the average speed of seismic waves in homogeneous layers of soil is represented by the inclination of the line segments along which are aligned to the experimental data.
Once the seismic layers are graphically obtained, we get the average density, from the speed and depth, Poisson's ratio, shear deformation modulus, oedometric modulus, Young's modulus, bulk modulus, VS30.
INTERPRETATION WITH INTERVAL METHOD
In the interval method, travel times are measured between two receivers placed at different depths, thus allowing for better quality measurements (speed intervals).
When we have only one receiver, that is assuming that the pairs do not match a single impulse, the rate determined values are defined in the pseudo-range, allowing only an apparent better definition of the velocity profile.
Once we have the measurements is possible to calculate the corrected travel times and interval velocity for the P and S waves, along to the relating graphic. Than we can calculate the density, Poisson's ratio, the shear deformation modulus, the oedometric modulus, Young's modulus, the bulk modulus for each interval and VS30.

About the Lecture
The permanent downhole pressure gauge is a class of tool that has become popular in the industry. These tools are installed during the well completion and provide a continuous record of pressure changes during production.
Permanent downhole gauges (PDGs) have potential to provide more information than is available with traditional well testing, which is carried out for a relatively short duration. PDGs may provide useful information regarding changes in reservoir properties or well conditions with time as the reservoir is produced.
However, interpretation of PDG data is a new problem. Unlike the traditional well test in which "disturbances" in the reservoir (i.e., rate changes) are created and pressure and rates are both known, the changes in rates associated with the record from the PDG may not be known. Moreover, the dynamic changes in the reservoir, along with changes in the flowing temperature or changes in the gauge itself, make the data more complicated to interpret.
